Uniform fittings without the queue
Replace opening-week crowding with steady, scheduled appointments. Parents pick a time that works for their schedule, sizes are captured before they arrive, and your shop team can focus on helping families instead of managing a queue. Parent Events has scheduled uniform fittings for hundreds of schools since 2013.
Open the schedule
Set your fitting hours, decide how many families can book each slot, and choose how long an appointment should take. Run one day or a whole week.
Families book their time
Parents pick a slot online and answer the sizing or special requirement questions you care about. You have what you need before they arrive at the shop.
Serve without the rush
With demand spread across the day, your team keeps a steady pace and families move through without a long wait.
Spread demand across the day
Instead of every family arriving during the first hour of opening day, appointments are spaced evenly across your hours. Set slot lengths to match how long a fitting really takes, allow multiple families per slot during peak periods, or keep appointments one-on-one.
Match slot capacity to your changing rooms and staff numbers. As families book, timeslots fill and close automatically so your shop is never overcrowded.
Sizing ready before they arrive
Custom booking questions let you gather sizing estimates, needed items, house colors, or how they plan to pay, upfront. By the time a family arrives, shop staff know what is needed and can have sizes pulled in advance.
If you only need an order form without appointments, run the event in registration-only mode. Families submit their sizing and uniform requirements online, and your shop fulfills orders on its own schedule.
Sizing for every child
Families with more than one child book a fitting for each of them, choosing which child each booking is for, so you know every student who is coming.
Each fitting shows the student it covers and the answers to your sizing questions, and the exported booking list puts every family's answers side by side, so staff have the right sizes ready for each child.
Built to support your school
Fitting appointments spread demand across the day instead of a queue at the shop door. Set the length of each fitting and the hours the shop is open on each date.
Set how many fittings can happen at once to match your fitters or changing rooms. Slots close automatically once every room is taken, so the shop never overflows.
A family with several children books a fitting for each child, and sizing questions are answered for each one, so nothing gets mixed up at the counter.
Ask whether the family already knows their sizes, needs a fitting, or is only purchasing. You know what stock to have ready before they walk into the shop.
Families get a reminder email on the morning of their fitting, and you can add another the day before. Fewer families miss their slot or arrive an hour early.
Only need an order form? Run the event without time slots and collect sizes and requirements from every family, then process the orders on your own schedule.
Families move or cancel their own fitting while bookings are open, and the slot reopens straight away. Update emails go out automatically, so nobody has to call the office.
See how quickly fitting slots fill, which times are most popular, and how many families do not show. Plan next season's fitting week from last season's numbers.
